About: I’m not JUST a dog lover, I’m experienced, attentive, and genuinely passionate person about caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities! From fun-loving puppies to wise senior dogs, I’ve worked with them all. I have handled feeding routines, daily walks, playtime, and lots of cuddle session, always with love, patience and care! What sets me apart is my ability to truly connect with each and every dog. I pay attention to their needs, read their body language, and make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you’re away! I'm currently available on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as evenings from 6 PM to 12 AM during the week. My schedule allows me to give each dog my full attention, energy, and care! No rush, no stress, just quality time with your fur baby. When I’m caring for your pet in your home, my top priorities are your dog’s comfort, safety, happiness and treating your space with the same respect I’d give my own. I follow your routine as closely as possible, from feeding schedules and walk times to playtime and bedtime rituals. I make sure your pup gets plenty of love, attention, and exercise, so they feel secure and relaxed even when you're away. Whether it’s giving belly rubs on the couch, sticking to special care instructions (like medication), or just being a calm and familiar presence. I’m there to keep your dog happy in the place they feel most at ease, home sweet home.

“Gia was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. She was attentive, patient, and genuinely caring, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was incredibly helpful having someone so reliable and responsible to dog sit, and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable with her. Gia kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dedicated dog sitter.”
“Nicole has been absolutely incredible only after two weeks. My breed of dog takes time to adjust to new friends and family. Nicole has been able to patiently developed a bond to this point which we are confident will grow in time. This deserves mention and to be brought to the attention of others.”

In My Home: I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets feel relaxed and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, grooming care, and any special instructions from their owners. Safety and comfort come first, ensuring every pet feels at home while staying with me. In a Client’s Home: I respect the familiar environment that helps pets feel secure. I follow the same level of care—feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and grooming—while keeping their routine consistent.

Melida did A LOT of drop-in visits (3×/day for a week) while I was away to take care of my needy dogs. She was punctual, responsive, respectful of property and the perfect sitter. I recieved detailed notes and pics of my dogs for each visit. I appreciate her and her services and will definitely book her again in the future.
We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! She was incredibly kind, communicative, and proactive throughout our entire vacation. She kept us updated every day with messages and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was always on time, made sure our dogs were well-fed, took them on great walks, and gave them so much love and attention. When we came home, our house smelled wonderful and was spotless, showing how much care she put into everything. It's clear she truly loves animals and goes above and beyond for both pets and their owners. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and caring. We will definitely book with her again

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Princeton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Princeton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Princeton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
